How can a team like Marseille expect to win anything with Germain as their striker? I remember this guy sucked at Monaco? Not even one tenth a player that Griezmann is. Cant wait to see Griezmann in our Barca shirt What a difference maker.

Typical game for Atletico, bar the first few minutes Marseille started well, Atletico got more and more control, and dont even feel like they are playing at their best.

Looks like they tried to take the game to Atletico... dont watch Mraseille, but do they always start by booting the ball deep into the opponent's end our of play? Interesting it seems quite many teams do this nowadays to press right from the start. But Ateltico proved they are the best at this and wont lose to their own game.

Naw that was years ago. Basque is firmly part of Spain. The one thing that keeps us together us futbol. Sure in liga play, there are huge rivalries but when it comes to Spain against another country, most of us pull together.

You guys on Internet have a distorted vision.

Freedom of expression and the arts is not part of what keeps you together apparently. Apparently your beloved country is jailing rappers for their lyrics when they dare to mention ETA

Jordan Amavi looked amazing for Villa in 2015. Like he was destined for bigger things. Then he got injured, got into the Championship, sold, and now looks like an absolutely shite defender for Marseille. What a shame.

Atletico succeeding us as the princes of Europe, uff. I doubt they give a shit about it but I like to think that somewhere out there a lone Atletico fan on a Spanish footballing forum will use this win as valuable ammunition to justify the club's season as a success. Though it will be harder for them since they crashed out of the CL groups.

It's not distorted in the slightest, you just misunderstood what we were trying to say. We're not talking about your National team here, we're talking about whether or not your claim that fans of different clubs in Spain are perfectly capable of supporting another club in Europe for the sake of Spain.

Somehow I have serious doubt about the legitimacy of that claim. Right off the bat, I know Barcelona would rather burn than support Madrid under any circumstance. Same goes for Atlético and Sevilla and Valencia, and pretty much every single club playing in the first division.

Really, I'm not exaggerating when I say that your support for Atlético tonight would never be reciprocated by their fans if the situations were reversed. Case in point, remember this talk a week from now when we take on Liverpool. When you see the entire Rojiblanco side of Madrid turn Red, don't act surprised.
